Post LIGHT SHOW UNDER HOOD help!!!!

this is kind of advanced i have two problems first one the car runs fine ,so i think i had the hood up at night and had a friggen light show driver side was sparking ,,,,but not from the boots from the wire to the block ?
i touched the wire and got shocked
also it was arking from the inlet of the optispark that is new ,the coil is new plug wires as well
i had a dig 6 on it i took it off and put it back to stock settings still there do i have a bad ground somewhere ? i checked the main ...running out of ideas ....also i think this is affecting why my pump cant work undre a load ....not enough voltage
help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
second one.. my fuel pressure drops off when i spray it i changed out two pumps

could ther be a short .or a voltage draw ???
not letting the pump get full power

Ok first please post what year/car/engine you have so that people can help you with this problem.

Next what fuel pump do you have? You say that 'the pump cant work' what do you mean? How did you determine this? Is the car running lean? If your spraying a decent shot and have a few mods and this is on the stock pump it may just not be up to the task. Please provide more info.

As far as the arching problem have you read any of these?-
